Thousands are calling for her resignation. Thousands more are wondering if she’s off her meds (or needs to be ON some meds). What I WANT TO KNOW is WHAT IN THE HELL the poor saps like us who donate to the Democratic party are paying this woman? (I actually searched for information […]

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My […]

God, I hope he doesn’t have to work near Maureen Dowd. Surely he gets to write his columns at his Princeton office, don’t you think? Paul Krugman’s latest, “Self-Inflicted Confusion” is damn fine, as always, even if he is the lonely voice for reason in the NYTimes op-ed department.
First, there’s Anglachel’s “shorter Krugman”: “Act like […]

The Clinton Team has a message for America after Pennsylvania, and it’s not spin. It’s a serious question every American and every Democrat should be asking: Why didn’t Obama win Pennsylvania?

Barack Obama outdid himself this week, didn’t he? He revealed something about his true feelings about the working-class masses whose votes he desperately needs, and perhaps his take on that higher plane he believes he occupies. But this isn’t an isolated incident, and it isn’t the first time we’ve been reminded that Barack Obama […]

John B. Judis, co-author with Ruy Teixeira of the superb The Emerging Democratic Majority, has a piece today in TNR on the damage Snob-gate has done to Obama. Judis is a respected observer of demographics and voting trends, and his words in this article are perhaps too cautious for his larger point. Superdelegates and Party […]

The message coming out of the Clinton campaign on Sunday is that Obama has rendered himself unelectable.

The Clinton Team fired back with this:
Sen. Clinton does know better — she knows better than to condescend and talk down to voters like Senator Obama […]
